Antelope Valley – Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, has earned the endorsement of the Antelope Valley African American Leadership Council (AVAALC) in his race for the open 21st Senate District.

“It’s an honor to receive the blessing from such an influential organization that brings a clear voice for fairness, opportunity and equity,” stated Wilk. “As a legislator I always try to get to ‘yes’ and we share much common ground in creating a pathway of opportunity for the African American community.”

The AVAALC is a dynamic coalition of African American community-based organizations that promotes social and economic justice, civic participation, and empowerment of African Americans

The AVAALC’s goals are building leadership and organizational capacity of the community, as well as advancing public policies to increase opportunities and support for African American people.

“Working together we can build a build a better California that educates our young people to equip them for the new global economy and bring mortgage-paying jobs to the Antelope Valley so families don’t have to commute down below,” concluded Wilk.

]]>SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, announced legislation that will bring financial relief to soldiers who acted in good faith but were, nonetheless, wrapped up in the recently exposed “clawback” scandal. The bill will include language alleviating any tax burden relating to the enlistment bonuses.

“I have spoken at length with the Franchise Tax Board and they have assured me that they are conducting a thorough investigation into potential tax exemptions for these soldiers,” said Wilk. “Unfortunately, at the state level we do not have the authority to relieve these soldiers of the debt; that has to be done at a federal level. However, there are several options for California legislators to mitigate the effects on our soldiers and I will pursue every possible avenue to ensure these men and women are made financially whole.”

Wilk went on to assure California’s soldiers that he will continue to lobby the federal government to waive their debt entirely and to fully reimburse those who have already paid the bonuses back to the Department of Defense. In the meantime, Wilk pledged to continue his efforts of relief at the state level, including tax relief on any enlistment bonus payments received and any refund payments to or from the federal government.

“Wilk has proven he can navigate around the polarization in Sacramento, working across the aisle by finding solutions both parties can accept. The trust he has built with his peers from both parties has allowed him to have our backs…”

“Wilk has succeeded at working with Democrats in the Legislature. During his four years in office he co-authored two jobs bills that helped industries in both the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys.”

Wilk concluded, “Being vetted by independent, third party organizations and receiving their endorsement is gratifying. I hope their support provides confidence in voters to cast their vote for me.”

“The biggest challenge we face in California is the dysfunction in Sacramento. Our Senate and Assembly have evolved into a polarization on both sides of the aisle. Democrats are controlled by the rigid Union lobby and many republicans are so far to the right compromise isn’t part of their vocabulary. So we have a Legislature that often isn’t making decisions that is best for our residents and most often it is simply punting and not addressing tough challenges that need immediate solutions.

Wilk has proven he is one of Sacramento’s few legislators who has the respect from both his Republican and Democratic peers.”

“Wilk has succeeded at working with Democrats in the Legislature. During his four years in office he co-authored two jobs bills that helped industries in both the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys: AB 1839, which provided tax incentives to keep film and television jobs in California, and AB 2389, which provided tax incentives for aerospace jobs.

Wilk has introduced legislation to provide a backup plan in case the Cemex mega-mine is not blocked on the federal level, and he is among the more informed candidates for any statewide office on the chloride issue involving state mandates imposed on the Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District.

Wilk also is among the leaders in a drive for greater transparency in the statehouse.”

]]>SACRAMENTO –Yesterday, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Assemblyman Scott Wilk’s, R-Santa Clarita, Assembly Bill 1322 which permits salons and barbershops to serve a single complimentary alcoholic beverage to clients ages 21 and over without requiring a license or permit, provided no extra fees are charged for the beverage.

“Many beauty salons and barbershops sell their services as experiences, so it is not uncommon for a customer to be offered a beer or glass of wine,” Wilk said. “By setting a responsible standard to comply with, this law strikes the perfect balance between individual choice and public safety.”

Although common practice, many beauty salons and barbershops inadvertently disobey state law by offering their customers a complimentary alcoholic beverage with their service. AB 1322 updates this area of law to reflect modern realities by exempting these businesses from the requirement of a liquor license. Drinks are to be provided free of charge, no later than 10 p.m., and only served as either 12 ounces of beer or 6 ounces of wine per customer.
